The ruling on a person in ihram shaving the hair of his body other than the head

Question : Thank you. What is the ruling on shaving the body hair for the pilgrim?

Answer : The body hair. Yes. The scholars of jurisprudence say that the hair of the rest of the body is like the hair of the head. But there is no evidence for this opinion. Because the hair of the head is distinguished among the hairs in that it is a place of worship. For this reason, it is prohibited for the one in ihram to shave it, because if he shaved it, there would be no place left for the worship. As for the rest of the body hair, it does not have this characteristic. But despite this, we say that the precaution for the one in ihram is to avoid it, as long as the majority of scholars hold this view. Yes.
